As I do prefer to use my mechs for it also, I do welcome the feature and enjoy messing around with it. On mods like the Pegasus Mini, I found it worked quite well.
My vote is to keep it. I highly recommend the Odyssey mini kit to folks new to vaping. It's relatively easy to use for those new to vaping. They can start out with mouth-to-lung, and then try out TC and mech (bypass) modes relatively safely without investing in a new MOD. I think it's the best MOD Aspire currently makes. Yes, it can use a few improvements; but it's a great MOD for experienced vapers all-day MTL use, especially in confined spaces like a car. You don't want billowing clouds of vapour obscuring your vision.
I will pass them to our products development department.
